GameXplain: "The first time I met the artist Mikey, it was at his “The Nintendo Generation” solo art show in Vancouver, conveniently located for GX North. It was definitely an impressive sight to see all the massive representations of classic Nintendo games such as Mega Man, Dr. Mario, Punch-Out and more. Apparently we weren’t the only ones impressed, as Nintendo of Canada suggested to Mikey to put together a show at E3! (And who wouldn’t listen to Nintendo? We know Andre would jump off a cliff if Nintendo told him to)."
With Mike Tyson’s recently successful exhibition with Roy Jones Jr proving that Iron Mike Tyson still has some power behind those punches, discussion of a Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out 2 (Or a sequel of sorts) is properly on the table. The multi-time heavyweight champion has spoken publicly about making a new Punch-Out game for the Nintendo Switch.

I own both copies on the NES I own the SNES and Wii port Punch out is a good franchise.
I absolutely love the series! Own all the NES copies and I even have that Club Nintendo exclusive Doc Louis's Punch-Out. ;)
So long as he doesn't go to EA or Ubi for some spiritual successor. It would be a smart move right now since he's come back into the boxing scene right? Capitalize on the hype, Ninty.
Whether you have real Mike Tyson and pixelated Mike Tyson fighting for the title of “scariest human being” or you’re questioning reality thanks to a malevolent Creator, it’s safe to say that some retro game bosses are just...unsettling. :-|
Definitely missed Giygas from Earhbound 2 on that list. That boss gave me nightmares when I was a kid. Finished the game way later as a grown up and holy cows, the boss still gave me the hebejebes 😂
The Punished Backlog's David Silbert writes:
"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.
Awesome!
nice
Can't wait to see it. One of my all time favorite games. Very impressive work!
